they might be lethargic and then you can notice that the are not walking right and starts twiching that gets worse and becomes convulsions or seizures and they might could die depending on your cat and how much you put on it. would reconmend only using the flea medicine your vet gives you and not to uses the kind from Walmart of any other store and would ask the vet to put it on and to maybe stay at the vet for awhile to make sure your cat is out of danger of a reaction.
If a cat takes too much flea medicine, it may experience nerve issues, such as muscle spasms or seizures. If spray medicine was used, dry the area thoroughly to remove the excess. If symptoms don't go away or get worse, the cat will need to be seen by a vet immediately.
Call your vet or an emergency animal clinic immediately, and have the info of the flea med available when you call. If you can't contact your vet, or if there is no emergency animal clinic available, look on the flea medication package for a phone number or a web site address and contact them - now! If none of the above is available, call the National Animal Poison Control Center at 1-800-548-2423 or 1-900-680-0000 for specific information. In some cases, you can even call the emergency room at a local hospital. Specific antidotes are available for some poisons, but they cannot be administered unless the poison is known, so have the package available. But you have to call someone NOW!
You can make your cat sick. That stuff is a poison so it kills fleas and ticks, but it also gets into your cat as well. The cat cleans its fur and will take some of in as they do it. They breathe it in. Give your cat a bath if you think you have too much on it.
When i got my kitten i used the same flea medacine i use for my dog and i put it in their food on purpose and it hasn't hurt her since.
It is perfectly fine if the cat licks flea medicine. The flea medicine is only harmful to fleas and ticks and not toxic to cats.

There likely will be no problem if the amount of canine flea medicine ingested was within the dosage range for a dog similar in size to the cat, but take the cat to a veterinarian if it swallowed a much larger amount of the medicine or if it appears to be sick.
